Thanks for your responses and link to your prior post which was an interesting read.
you'r welcome... i will put some link of my previous posts for you...
The way how I interpret Vivian's motivations right now is that she has had a wild post, partied and enjoyed single life so to speak, and often went for bad boys and dark triad types, only then to later settle for a stable husband to have a family. Not that it was (or still is) a terrible marriage, far from it, but it lacks genuine desire on her part. Sex is transactional and a reward given to Hutch, and Vivian is shocked when Hutch is so hurt that he refuses a 'treat' at the end of Chapter 1. A moment that shocked Vivan to the core, her primary agency became worthless overnight, a beloved dog denying an A5 Wagyu steak offered by its master.
As I wrote, I don't like to imagine things that aren't in the story in the two chapters that have been published.
Yours is an interpretation that I don't make.
I believe that their marriage, which has lasted 22 years and produced a son who is now going to college,
Seems to me has been a perfect marriage,
and only six years ago Hutch found a job in Christian's company.
Just SIX years... so
The story wouldn't make any sense if Vivian got those tattoos after marrying Hutch. They have a son who attends college, so she must have gotten pregnant right after the wedding... frankly, I don't want to think that Hutch married her when she was already pregnant by someone else.
I disagree with your interpretation.
Rather, I think something terrible happened to Vivian, maybe she was addicted to heroin, and Hutch bailed her out by getting her detoxified (however, this is just a hypothesis, and I don't even like it, even though I wrote it)... She fell in love with him. She closed the door on her past, and it was probably Hutch himself who told her that he did not want to know anything about her past, but that he wanted to marry her and have a child with her to build a family.
Having a child is something that changes the life of a sensitive woman like Vivian. so she chose to hide even from herself her past for the sake of the family
If you are interested in my post about the restaurant evening with Viv and Chris

this is the link
The conversation with Rebecca in the bar underlines this dynamic. I don't remember her exact words, but paraphrasing Rebecca it was something like it being a woman's curse to be attracted to dominant guys who are not good for longterm relationships. Rebecca's words and Vivian's actions reminded me of the Dual Mating Hypothesis: One set of guys for short term benefits, sexual gratification, good genes for better chances of the offspring in prehistoric terms, versus a stable long-term provider who treats her right. Vivan has chosen (wisely) Hutch as a husband for raising a family and was happy for a long time and still clings to the stability of that marriage, but she settled. She was never crazy with desire for Hutch at any point. Making him wait, being able to leverage her sexuality, hiding her prior experiences, doing much less with him than with prior lovers, etc.
Yes but the discussion with Rebecca is not an important discussion in the story logic
The important fact is that Vivian being alone because her husband would be away on business for another day
She had already woken up after a nightmare and does not find him next to her... so
The important thing is Vivian taking off the wedding ring as if the lack of her husband next to her had awakened old habits that she are used to in the time when she studied in France
(I think you not have read well the post i linked)
The discussion is just a stupid barroom discussion with an estranged girl... Vivian was looking for men that night, if she hadn't found Rebecca she would have gotten fucked by anyone even a group of black students
And it is really impossible that a 45 year old mother who has weaned a child doesn't know that an enema is for cleaning the rectum and the asshole... and frankly I don't even believe that a 45 year old woman has never had anal sex!
She was out of her mind that night!
Christian succeeded in re-awakening her old desires for a more 'alpha guy'. Vivian cannot stop herself even while she is regretting the damage she knows is causing to her marriage. She may be reluctant, but never enough to not indulge into her long dormant passions.
Mmmm No. Christian only awakened what she had repressed for the sake of the family.
Vivian has rediscovered her addiction to rough sex that she had when she was younger... Vivian HATES CHRISTIAN precisely because she knows she cannot resist the appeal of life as a naughty American girl she was as student in France.
She says this at the restaurant to Chris

This seems more plausible to me
Rebecca's solution to this problem is different: She is going full swingers, but in the end, Rebecca is solving for the same problem of having needs than one (type of) man cannot address all by himself. She is more open and upfront about it, and her warning to Vivian in the next morning is foreshadowing (again paraphrasing 'Brian and I took a year between talking and the first threesome, you jumped into the deep right away', with the intended meaning that Vivian could lose her husband).
This is only a side story for me!
and as SC stories says he is cutting side stories to focus on the meat of the story.
IMO Rebecca is not inside the meat of this story
Maybe I'm wrong?. we will see!
I predict 4 will be a little smaller and 5 will be the shortest concentrating on just the finale. I originally had numerous gratuitous scenes that I'm cutting out so I can focus on the meat of the story. I think it makes the main story better and I think it's what the real fans want. Plus it simply cuts down on production time. I'm not trimming anything that drives the story, just the extra fluff.
Coming back to my favorite side character Addison, she seems different from Vivian and Rebecca, not afflicted by the same 'curse' as Rebecca put it. Clearly Addison is interested in Hutch and she does not seem bothered by him being more of a stable, less aggressive kind of man. I can only speculate why, maybe she is so repulsed by the cocky men at work that push for asking her out in such a way that Hutch is refreshingly different, maybe she resents her uncle's lifestyle, whatever it is, it seems she could be content with Hutch as he is. This makes her a serious threat to Vivian, as reflected in Vivian's nightmare and her questioning Hutch's potential interest into Addison to ascertain the level of danger she might be in.
Addison is not a secondary character Christian is her uncle a she seems to be somehow interested in Hutch
As always, I don't like to make predictions about the story, and in my opinion Vivian has nothing to fear from Addison because Hutch has been her husband for 22 years...
may have been initially overwhelmed by the raw intensity of how brutal and crushing the story was in Chapter 1 when we focused on Hutch's point of view, but I must say that this level of quality in writing, with plausible motivations, is really enjoyable. Chapter 3 will likely be harder to stomach again going back to Hutch, but I hope that Addison can sweeten the reader experience again. I will definitively stay tuned.
Thanks but... please do not forget to read me posts
and... what is written in the game
I don't want you to be let down but this is not a vanilla story and so your hoping to find more sweetness in the future...
There is no sweetness in having sex... yet there will be a lot of cuddling during the dialogues
Anyway we will see
